Whether it's Mubarak in Egypt, Gaddafi in Libya, Abdullah Saleh in Yemen, in these and other countries liberals enthusiastically cheer on the ousting of these regimes by the "pro-democracy" freedom fighters. Yet when the pro-democracy movement in America, the Tea Party, protests and demonstrates against the Obama regime, liberals smear them and call them everything from racists and Nazis to traitors and terrorists, and call for them to be silenced. What gives? If revolution by pro-Democracy forces is good in the Middle East, then why not in the USA? Is it because the "pro-Democracy" rebels in the Middle East are actually Islamists actively working towards the implementation of Sharia Law in the countries mentioned above? Or is it because liberals hate freedom so much they can't stand the idea of dissent from their God-King Obama? Discuss.

What?????
We are still a democracy! Well, a democratic republic.
There is absolutely no comparison of Egypt, Libya or Yemen to the US!!!
Geez.... what a silly analogy.
Have some right wingers become so treasonous that this question has to be asked? As an American, not a liberal, but just a plain old American, I support democracy at home and abroad. I am skeptical about what's going on in the Arab world right now, but I hope the outcome is greater freedom and democracy for their people. As far as "rebellion" here, what exactly do you have in mind? I fully support every American going to the polls and voting for the candidates they feel best represent them. Beyond that, what exactly were you hoping to do?

So you now support overthrowing every nation in the world that isnt a Democracy? What a silly response. Who are we to determine our form of government is best for every nation in the world? Isnt that what Democrats have been bemoaning for a decade now, but suddenly support?

Oh.... get real! The OP was comparing the US to Egypt, Libya and Yemen and the lack of democracy with the lack of democracy here in the US.

Libyans, Syrians and Egyptians rose up against their dictators on their own volition. They weren't invaded by a foreign Army that presumed to know their will. Does this really have to be explained?
Let me add... I don't agree with much of what the Tea Party supports but I don't think they don't have a right to promote their position as others in our country do. Don't agree with them... but they have every right to demonstrate and support those who support their views.
I just don't agree with much of what they want to see implemented.

Seriously? America is still a democracy/republic. We rebel at the ballot box. Do you honestly think that America has ceased to be a democracy?

It isn't our place to determine other peoples' govts, but I do think we should support human freedom and rights where people are trying to achieve them. Not that we should send boots on the ground, but giving moral or diplomatic support is okay with me. I'm adopting a wait and see attitude with the Arab Spring, but I hope for the best. I don't support Mubarak, Quaddafi (sp?) or Saleh. Terrible people, they were.

Which brings one back to the OP's question. If the Tea Party Terrorists , decided rise up and storm Washington Dc, you would support them?
